On the near-term horizon is the 2012 Google Summer of Code. This won't be a good place to look for the Apache interface, but it's a good place to find someone willing to do relatively simple gruntwork. Something like taking Harald's list of fixes, applying them and testing is a decent summer task for an undergrad. The wiki pages for the 2012 GSoC are http://wiki.tcl.tk/28789 The requirements are that there be an ostensible adult to mentor the student. You don't need to be physically co-located. I mentored a guy from Poland for a couple years. Email, chats or skype are adequate tools. We've assembled some easy-to-swallow Tcl introductions at the Tcl Community Association website to make it (relatively) easy for a student to come to the project unable to spell Tcl and do useful work. http://www.tclcommunityassociation.org I don't know if Rivet has a comprehensive regression test. That might be a good place for a GSoC student. Extending/reworking some of the older code to new standards might also be suitable for an undergrad. One problem we have in the Tcl community with GSoC is too many PhD type projects and too few Sophomore/Junior level projects. The low-hanging fruit in the Tcl Core development was picked in the 20'th century. Happy Tcl'ing, Clif -- ... Clif Flynt ... http://www.cwflynt.com ... c...@cflynt.com ... ..
